After Jim McKay, Tim Russert and George Carlin all died, I started to notice a trend emerge.
Yes, it’s been around for awhile, but it really hit home this week when Carlin died – every story told posthumously about the individual involved niceties.
It just showed how ‘regular’ they were to me.
They did not represent the evil Enron-money-squeezing-criminals or child rapists or murderers who make daily headlines in this country. No, they were the next door neighbors who’d help you if you needed something done.
I was brought up with the same morals and am happy to see that are more kindred spirits out there like me, that I am not the only one who’s nice just because that’s who they are.
I can’t tell you how many times I was treated like a rug growing up, but I never changed my personality; I stayed true to my upbringing and remained nice.
Yes sometimes life is unfair and the ‘bad guy’ wins.
But it seemed this week that the ‘nice guy’ prevailed and re-instilled hope and faith in me that these people really do exist out there.
Thank God for them all. And God Bless them wherever they are now.
